QUEEN OF WOMEN.


Oh, under the cottage roof!
Or under the palace domeI
Here's to the Queen OF Women.
The woman who loves her home
Finds 1t a little kingdom,
In which she can always stay.
Making 1t better and fairer,
And happier every day.
Here's to the Queen Of womeni
The faithful and tender wife!
The strength of her husbands heart,
The joy Of her husbands life.
Other joys vanish away.
Lighter loves come to an end,
The true wife is always a queen!
Comforter! Counselorl Friend!
Here's to the Queen of Women.
The mother, content to be
Mother and nurse and teacher
To the children at her knee.
She is the woman to place
All other women above,
She is the woman to praise!
She Is the woman to love!
What is a scepter and crown.
Crown and sccpter of gold!
Ermine and velvet and silk
Falling in many a fold?
Greater the mother and wife,
Reigning in love serene,
Over her husband and home,
Twenty times greater a queeni
Beauty and youth will not last,
Riches may make themselves wings,
Pleasure and fashion too Oft
Are unsatisfactory things.
The beauty, the heiress, the belle,
Alike upon love must lean.
Only the wife and the mother
Is always and ever q queenl

ERN LIVING have brought it

pains about the chest ana sides,
and sometimes in the back.
They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especi-
ally in the morning. A sort
of sticky slime collects. about
the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy
load on the stomach: sometimes
a faint, an-gone sensation at
the pit of the stomach which
food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken,. the hands
and feet become cold and feel
clanmy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is at
tended with a greenisil colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and
sleep does not seem to afford
any rest. After a time he be-
comes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebod-
ings. There is a giddiness, a
sort Of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up sud-
denly. The bowels become
costive; the skin is dry and
hot at times; the '.?no,i becomes
thick and stagnant: the whites
of the eyes become .!ged with

The Socialists are trying in vain to en-
list the sympathy and cooperation of the
wcrkingmcn of this country, and they are
rapidly learning that the most stubborn
foes that stand ready to thwart their en-
deavors are found in the ranks of labor
Mr.. Powderly speaks the sentiments Of
large majority of the genuine, not make
believe, workingmen in the United States
when he says Of the Socialists:
"They convey the impression that the on
ly weapons by which labor can hope to Sc
cure the desired reforms are the knife and
the bludgeon. Men may entertain such
ideas as they please, but they should not
seek, under the cloak of the Knights of La
Dor, to promulgate such doctrines and make
the order responsible for them"
1t is always the loud-mouthed and the
lazy who bring any association Of men into
disrepute. 1t is the duty of organized Ia
Dor to force out from it any noisy,
guzzling socialists who may creep within
Its bounds--a duty that organised labor
in self-respect aud in respect for its fellow
men outside of its limits will net be slow
to perform.--Rich. State.

But somehow 1 wandered away.
1 saw rare treasures In scenes OF pleasures,
And ran to pursue ttem. when 10!

And knew not whether to 60.
I have lost the way to happiness
Oh, who will lead me back ?"
Turn off from the highway OF selfshness

Keep straight along and you can't go wrong,
For as sure as you live, I say,
The fair, lost field of happiness
Can only be found that way.

Gen. S. B. Buckner is the leading candi-
date for Governor of Kentucky thus far
mentioned on the democratic side, and his
nomination is generally conceded. Gen.
Wolford, who served on the Union side in
the late war, will probably be the demo-
cratic nominee for Lieutenant-Go Governor.
As they served on opposite sides during the
war, they ought to catch the fighters s'both
coming and going" says the Baltimore
Sun.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle.
He was belated and was clinging con-
fidingly for support to a lamp-poSt. His
bushy, iron gray hair framed noble brow
and face in which thought, trouble and
drink had craven deep liues. His hat was
gone. As passed him he touched me on
the arm and said in an appealing tone:
''Can you help me out9'
"Do you want bed?' I asked.
"No, sir; much obliged"
''Perhaps you want to go home"
81 have no home," he said, in tene In
which, despite his condition, pain and re-
signation were equally blended.
"What can do for you, then?'
81 can't remember it,"
"WEat?'
'It's Observation-Disclosures
the-world."
s'What's the name of brandt" I rejoin-
ed; 'it seems to have made you very
happy"
He looked at me deprecatingly from out
his large, strong eyes, which alone seemed
to- resist with any success the paralyzing
effects of his debauch and replied in q
somewhat steader tone: brand! I
should say SO, say SO. Brandt Thatsjust
it. All Brand, brandy, brandy, branded.
That's funny conjugation, isn't it? Pm
the past participle of that verb. But that
isn't here or there. That's not what was
after"
"Well, be kind enough to tell me what
you are AFTER" said, sharply.
IL "Only minute or two" he said. "Don't
be too hard with me. You've got kind
year. Sometimes begin to think I'm a
worn-out old dog that walks on his hind
legs and thinks he's man. It's been
worrying me for week, and can't re-
member it.
"What is that?"
"That verse of Gray's elegy where he
talks about the urn and bust and 50 on"
repeated the lines to him:
"Can storied urn or animated bust
Back to its mansion call the feeting
breath?
Can honor's voice provoke the silent dust,
Or fattery soothe the dull, cold ear of
death?"
AS the words fell from my lips he bent
his head gently forward and, when / had
concluded, said: ''The finest-yes, the
finest in the world. Thank you! Curious,
isn't it, drunken man like me wanted to
get comfort out of those lines? Ahl the
MUS is, isn't it9 Yes, the finest-the finest"
"Can l do anything more for you?"
asked.
Eyes, please repeat those lines for me
once more"
While l did SO / saw two big tears gather
| in his eyes. When had finished, he said:
"Thank you, thank you indeed It's got

shan't feel degraded there. l fought
hard but it beat me. Brand, brandy,
branded. Yes but it won't scorch there.
IL The dull, cold ear of death. Yes,
thank you. Good night, sir!''
He steadied himself and turned to walk
away. ~
"Can't help you in any way?"
"No, sir, thank you"
| The next moment he had disappeared
within the door Of neighboring saloon.
"A curious world" thought to myself.

DoN'T FORGET IT.-It is fact not to be
forgotten by the people, that while the
great masses of the taxpayers Of Virginia
without regard to party, color or race, are
firmly committed to the Riddleberger bill as
the final basis of adjusting the debt of the
State, and Kidding our people of the odious
coupon feature thereof, the only obstruc-
tion in the way Of such settlement Is Mr..
William L. Royal aided by few lawyers
and bankers, who are agents of the foreign
bondholders, and paid by them to run the
machine and keep up the agitation to the
annoyance of the people and the discredit
of the State.
Their effort will prove futile, and they
will suffer far more by the comparison than
will the people of our State. They are
simply wasting their ammunition in fruit
less cause, and while they are receiving no
doubt good pay for their services, they are
certainly not making any legal or business
reputation for themselves in the future when
their occupation will be gone.
This will be the case in a few weeks when
an extra session of the legislature shall as
semble. If these leading gentlemen who
directly represent the foreign bondhelders,
would act the part of wise counsellers, they
would Immediately adjust the whole matter
greatly to the advantage of their ignorant
clients as well as with far more credit to
themselves than they can ever expect to at
tain by pursuing their present hostile policy
to their State and peopIe.-Lynch6urg Id
